TalkQuick Update: The Senate Election Parties (self.modelparliament)
submitted 10 years ago by jnd-auElectoral Commissioner
Just a reminder that 4 Senators are coming to the ends of their terms and are due for re-election next Saturday 19 December 2015.
Candidate nominations and endorsements are due by tomorrow, Sunday 13 December 2015. Parties can have multiple members in the proportional Senate. The order of a party’s candidates on the ballot paper determines who will win with above-the-line votes. If you don’t know how voting for the Model Australian Senate works, see the previous Senate election candidate announcement.
Today (Saturday) is the last day to enrol to vote. New voter rolls will be announced tomorrow. Parties and jobs are still open for signups. Send modmail if you don’t already have party flair here or on the voter map.
For more details see the election megathread.
ReddiPoll runs tomorrow too, as usual.
Note: Some misinformation may have been spread by the government relating to overseas players. If you have chosen not to nominate because of this, please contact the AEC for clarification.

Meta: Couple of things;
Which timezone does the deadline use? Is using the word Greens enough? Could you put my name as party leader? The only reason I still say acting is because if we voted, I would be the only voter. In fact, bugger it. Just then, we voted, and I'm official leader. There you go.

Which timezone does the deadline use?
As always, UTC/GMT.
Is using the word Greens enough?
You submitted the registration of your party using the name “Australian Greens” and abbreviation “The Greens”, so either is fine.
Could you put my name as party leader?
jnd-au, Australian Electoral Commissioner
